Welcome to Primary 1/2! 🌟

We are a class of 22 pupils, with 9 Primary 1 children and 13 Primary 2 children. We have two teachers who work with us: Mrs Stewart (Monday to Thursday) and Mrs Cox (Wednesday afternoon and Friday).

Our school values are Ready, Respectful and Safe and, throughout the year, we will work hard to follow them and be the best we can be. We will work towards becoming Star of the Day and celebrate our achievements through recognition awards and house assemblies.

Homework will be shared on Microsoft Teams each month, so please keep an eye out for this.

We have a wonderful year of learning ahead! In Literacy, we will work daily on our phonics and reading, enjoying lots of books along the way. One of our book studies will be Funnybones by Janet and Allan Ahlberg. This will link perfectly with a mini-topic on Our Body and, of course, Halloween!

In Numeracy and Maths, the children will continue to build strong foundations in number and number processes. Through games, investigations and hands-on learning, they will develop skills in counting, calculation, measurement, time, money, shape and information handling, while growing in confidence as mathematicians.

There will be lots of opportunities to develop new skills across the curriculum. We will continue to develop our technology skills each week using the school iPads and interactive whiteboard. Through PE, we will improve our fitness and learn a variety of new skills. Our Outdoor Learning day is Thursday, when we will explore animal habitats and take part in planting activities. It is important that children come to school with appropriate clothing so that we can enjoy learning outdoors in all kinds of weather (unless conditions are unsafe).

We can’t wait for a busy, engaging and enjoyable year of learning together!
